To everything there is a season
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born
A time to die

To everything there is a season
A time to laugh
A time to weep

To everything there is a season
Unspeakable joy at the arrival of Coach's daughter

To everything there is a season
Unbearable grief at the loss of our Louann

To everything there is a season
We join year long.... strangers in a world surely gone mad as we celebrate a time of peace and not war

Because this is our Season

And so it has come to this..

Four days until the season...

Wonderfully said friend!!!!!

Good morning, friends~

Happy Saturday!!

What are your weekend plans?

My parents & Jazzie are heading up today, to hang out with us for the weekend. And tomorrow, Adrian & I, and some friends are going to Lambeau Field for the Packers-Eagles game. Bless my parents hearts, they made the trip to take care of Harlowe for us while we're gone. They adore her, and vice versa, so it all works out! And Jazzie & Har enjoy seeing each other, too.

Our friend, Eric, is coming up today as well. We are going to pick up his brother along the way tomorrow, and then meet my uncle & cousin for a bite to eat before the game. They will be there, too! Should be fun!!
Let's just hope Seneca Warren has been practicing this week!!

We have done some Christmas decorating this week, a little something here & there after work each day. We hung red & white lights on our deck, changed our outdoor bulbs to red & green, put battery operated wreaths around our carriage lights & front door, battery operated pine boughs on our stairway railings (love those, multi-colored or white lights, still or blinking), hung a few xmas signs, and even hung my vintage "believe" stocking. Yay!! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!
Next weekend, I will be decorating the trees. Adi will put them up before he leaves, and I will decorate them & more things around the house. The village is after that! Can't wait!!

Work has been keeping me busy. Lots to learn!! And we've been short-handed with people being sick, and extra shoppers out & about.

I may not be around much for the next couple of days, but I'll be good, just enjoying my time with family & on the road trip. Go Pack, Go!!

Hope you all have a blessed & lovely weekend!!

xx

Your parents are so sweet to make the trip to take care of Harlowe! Sounds like you are going to have a blast this weekend, I hope you enjoy every minute of it!
You must be so excited to have started decorating for Christmas, I can't wait to see your decorations!
Have fun Snowflake!

Good morning all~ It's a beautiful sunny morning here in Baltimore! It looks like we had a frost last night, I can see out the window, the white on the cars and the lawn. I think this morning we are riding out to go look at a house that just came up on the market and do some general running.

Guess what, my real estate agent just called and said she has a contract in hand and is waiting on another. She didn't tell us any details over the phone because she said she wanted time to review it, before she sat down with us. Hopefully, it's good news and not a low ball offer; fingers crossed!

Tonight, we are having a birthday party for Victoria (her birthday is tomorrow), she is having about 15 of her friends coming over so we are going to run out and pick up her birthday cake and order allot of pizzas for tonight...That's allot of hungry teenagers to feed, lol...

i hope you all have a wonderful day today~

Have fun tonight, and an early Happy Birthday to Victoria!!!

the room is rearranged, Penny is running around and in and under and over everything trying to figure out what I have done now.

That's so cute! I love how excited the cats get every year when we start decorating!

Tree up!

So exciting ballcoach!

Good evening, everyone? How are you? I am well. Just relaxing, since I've been running all day. I'm currently watching the Hallmark movie that is on.

What is everyone else up to? What did you all do today? We went to Hershey, Pa to take the kids to see Disney Jr. Live. They had a blast. We spent about a total of 6 hours in the car, but it was well worth it for the fun they had.

We ended up buying a new car yesterday! I'm very happy with our purchase. We love it and we're able to take it with us today. This car had a lot more room then our old one did and it has a lot more features, so overall, there is so much more to love.

Well, I am off to read more of the posts from today. I know I won't get caught up, but I will tomorrow. See you guys for coffee in the am! I will check here before bed. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Congratulations on the new car!

Goodnight Made!

Hey, It's Friday evening....Let the weekend commence!!!:thumbsup:
I just got in from picking Victoria up from school and then I went up to pick up my pickup truck from the mechanic. I was driving home last week and I lost my breaks at an intersection (brake line burst) . Luckily, I was able to downshift and use the emergency brake to stop the truck. I drove another three miles that way and coasted it into the shop without hitting any traffic lights along the way (someone was looking out for me)!

The mechanic said that they had to replace the entire brake line from the master cylinder to the rear of the truck (rotted), replace both wheel cylinders and the rear brake hoses. After everything was said and done, it cost me around $450.00 dollars. I don't know, I guess that was ok with labor and all, at least I got the truck back and I have brakes now!

I guess tonight may be a movie night tonight for me and vicki, since the wife and son are working tonight....

So glad you got the vehicle fixed, with being safe.

Good luck, if it is the Traverse, I think you will enjoy the way that one drives.

That's what we ended up getting. I really like the way it drives. That car does so much!

Good evening!
It's been a long day, lots of chores and errands to run. I'm happy to finally sit down and rest for a little while. I did have time to stop at the gift store that I wanted to. It's such a cute little place to visit. It was kind of hard to get good pictures, the rooms are so tiny. But I took a few.

I treated myself to two ornaments. Kind of old fashioned looking but I like that. Sorry about the glare on the glass of the first one.
